A minds suicide

I trudged through darkened rooms of my house
To an open window
And I looked out below me at the concrete and started to throw out all that was important to me;
I dug deep inside and decided to be rid of my logic first
For it was holding me back
I pulled it out
And as it stuttered reasons and options
I flung it out the window and watched it drift away
Then I wretched guilt, shame, and doubt
All together
For they never gave me any peace
I wrapped them up side by side
And dropped them toward the cold ground
Next I pulled at my heart strings
For all my infinite love would have to go
It cried as I lifted it from me
"Without me what will you become?"
But without guilt, shame, or doubt
I kissed it goodbye
And watched as it made its quiet descent
Crashing on the pavement below
Then my very life was all I had left
And uncaringly I untangled it from my form
It came out easily and without protest
Like a withering tree with little roots
It whispered
"You have thrown everything else away, surely you do not need me"
So I unclasped my hands
And let it slip between my fingers
To join the rest of me on the ground
